United is telling its passengers: drinks on us!

The airline will soon be offering three-course in-flight meals -- plus free beer and wine -- to economy passengers on some international flights.

Beginning on June 1, economy meals will include three courses: starting with a drink and snack, a main meal and dessert. Complimentary beer and wine will also be offered with the meal service.

I believe the last time we flew to London on American that wine and beer were free. It was a very early morning flight and I remember thinking, "Oh great, wine and beer for breakfast."

Almost every airline offers free alcoholic drinks in economy on long haul flights. United are one of the stingiest airlines out there, who seem to be finally catching up....

Great! I'll report back in July...

Well, also the cheapest... The only reason I even bother with United is because I'm not fancy-schmancy enough to go Virgin.

Even though we're in AA's FF program, we're flying United to NYC next month because of pricing and scheduling. After years of flying AA, it'll be interesting to see how another airline works.
